The St Andrews Institute for Data-Intensive Research (IDIR) was set up in September 2014 to provide a focus for research and teaching activities across the University driven by access to “big data”. IDIR does not directly sponsor or manage any research of its own: rather, we help researchers to collaborate within and beyond their home … IDIR Summer Workshop 2018
In the context of “User Centred Design” course, Professor Quigley delivered a series of lectures on Ubiquitous User Interfaces in the University of Lleida, Spain. These lectures draw on a number of SACHI research group studies from work published in UIST, CHI, MobileHCI, IUI, AVI and UMAP.
A SICSA Education workshop on Learning Analytics for Improving Evidence-based Teaching will be organised in St Andrews during summer 2018 by Dr Kasim Terzic.

Abstract: Dependent types are a wonderful way to construct correct functional programming and specify interfaces as Edwin has shown in his nice book on type driven development using a welsh dragon. But shall we go further in the esoteric world of homotopy type theory? I will try to motivate this and I am looking forward … Why Homotopy type Theory (HoTT) matters – Professor Thorsten Altenkirch
Abstract: The increasing complexity of codes with the growing number of cores that should be utilised make such codes hard to optimise and maintain. In this talk, we present the OpenMP and MPI refactoring implemented in the ParaFormance tool. This tool transforms the sequential code into parallel code able to run on shared memory machines. … The OpenMP and MPI refactoring with ParaFormance – Turkey Alsalkini
Title: User Experience: a step towards Natural User Interfaces. Abstract: The road to natural interfaces is still long and we are now witnessing an artificial naturality. These interfaces are natural, in the sense they employ hand gestures, but they are also artificial, because the system designer imposes the set of gestures. In this lecture we will explore … SACHI Seminar: Alessio Malizia – User Experience: a step towards Natural User Interfaces.
